Activity 2

Day program services -access/partial hospitalization program: intensive treatment-the access partial program offers intensive treatment for program participants. Intensive treatment is usually full time participation in the program (30 hours per week). As individuals become stable and achieve treatment goals, they require less intensive service from the program, and treatment hours are reduced to as few as twelve hours per week. The access staff maintains continuity of care until the individual no longer requires partial hospitalization services and moves to outpatient psychiatric services. Many individuals transition into the psychiatric rehabilitation clubhouse program at mosaic house, employment, volunteer work or activities in the community.assessment services-we believe that individuals with a genuine desire for treatment should be given the opportunity to receive treatment. To that end, treatment is provided without limiting service based on diagnosis or duration of treatment. We have treated individuals needing acute care and those who need longer treatment. Therapy services-access provides treatment through traditional group therapy, medication monitoring and consultation with the program psychiatrist. Groups that have been used through the years include such topics as: anger management, life skills, feeling identification, family skills, relationships, sexuality, problem solving, humor and health, substance abuse, social skills, motivation, and self-confidence. The primary therapist and team review treatment plans every fifteen (15)-treatment days.the access partial hospital program continues to have an excellent relationship with community care behavioral health organization, our medical assistance managed care program. The access program continues to implement best practice techniques in groups and have adopted the recovery philosophy in its daily service to the consumers. Peer support services:peer support services are based on the fundamental principles of recovery. Peer support services are specialized therapeutic interactions conducted by self-identified current or former consumers of behavioral health services who are trained and certified to offer support and assistance in helping others in their recovery and community-integration process. The services promote empowerment, self-determination, understanding, coping skills, and resilience through mentoring and service coordination supports. This service allows individuals with severe and persistent mental illness and co-occurring disorders to achieve personal wellness. The certified peer specialist helps them cope with stressors and barriers when recovering from their disabilities. Services are multi-faceted and include, but are not limited to, individual advocacy, education, development of natural supports, support of work or other meaningful activities the individual chooses, crisis management support, skills training, effective utilization of the services system, and coordination of linkage to other service providers.presently, we employ four full time and three part time certified peer specialists.vocational- bpn- berks personnel network (bpn) provides comprehensive employment services designed to support and empower people with varying disabilities to obtain and maintain competitive employment in the community.

Activity 3

Mental health residential -mental health residential services:group living arrangements with varying levels of supervision in group homes, apartments, and support services in a person's own home are available for people with mental health challenges. A full array of independent living skills training is emphasized for people to achieve their maximum independence.community residential rehabilitation (crr) group home:this is a "full-care maximum supervision" crr group home for eight (8) adults who have a primary mental health disability/diagnosis. This "transitional residence" is designed to work with both males and females who require training and support with regard to independent living skills (i.e., medication, nutrition, meal preparation, comparative shopping, housekeeping, home safety, budgeting, personal hygiene, physical health, community orientation, socialization, and use of leisure time). The goals and objectives are: to develop independent living skills as listed above in order to transition individuals to the crr apartment program and eventually independent living, to reduce the need for inpatient psychiatric treatment, and assist individuals with stabilizing any physical health issues in conjunction with their medical providers. Community residential rehabilitation (crr) clustered apartmentthis is a "partial-care supervision" crr clustered apartment setting for seventeen (17) individuals who have a primary mental health disability/diagnosis. The individuals served function at a more independent level with regard to using public transportation; self-medication; having self-care skills; and having basic cooking, nutritional and shopping skills. The goals and objectives are to promote independence by increasing the individual's self-care skills, to reduce the need for and frequency of inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, and to prepare individuals for a more independent living arrangement. Supported living:supported living services are provided for adults with mental health challenges. Many individuals have a strong preference to be in control of their living environment and to choose where they live and with whom. Additionally, we believe that individuals could be more effectively receiving support services in their own apartments while increasing their self-esteem, integrity and empowerment. The service currently serves 25 individuals which is a significant decrease from serving approximately 52 individuals in prior years. The goals and objectives are to assist individuals in finding safe and affordable housing in the community which maximizes opportunities for integration and offer comprehensive supports as intensively as needed and desired by service users in order to maintain community living. The key support elements include the use of community resources, development of daily living skills, financial planning; budgeting; service linkages and coordination, response and support related to housing and psychiatric issues and emergencies. Individuals choose, to the greatest extent possible, their support person and the areas in which they desire support. The designated times and frequency of supports are developed around individual needs and preferences. Theoretically, support services can be provided anytime, day or night, during the week or on weekends and are flexible enough to change as the individuals' needs and situations change.
